2 Chronicles 20:29-30

The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.

From Background Notes [BN] for Jan 9th & 10th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Above all else, the story just told underscores that climbing the mountain is, in the final analysis, God’s idea at His initiative.

On the day of victory, Jehoshaphat did not sing the praises of brave soldiers in Judah’s army. The only praises that mattered were those from the lips of the praise team who celebrated the God whose love endures forever. This had been no ordinary battle, fought by ordinary infantry using ordinary strategy. God was both commander-in-chief, commanding general, and soldier with boots on the ground. He alone could take credit for the implementation of the battle plan. [BN,10]
